Researchers say software can spot untruths 70% of the time

There are certain clues that will expose someone when they are lying right to your face – but how do you spot a liar in emails or the'About Me' section of a dating profile? Researchers have developed an algorithm that can spot a deceiver 70 percent of time just by analyzing their word use, structure and context. This computerized lie detector was designed by feeding it emails with both lies and truthful statements until it learned patterns linked to deception. Researchers have developed an algorithm that takes the guessing out by telling users when someone is lying through analyzing word use, structure and context. While comparing the truths and the lies in the sample emails, the City University of London discovered that those who are being deceitful less likely to use personal pronounces – such as'I', 'me', mine' – and will use more adjectives instead, reports The Telegraph.
